§ Mr. KENNEDYasked the Secretary for Scotland whether he is in a position to 1356W state the result of his inquiries into the sentences of three months' imprisonment with hard labour imposed upon four unemployed workmen, named Murphy, M'Daid, M'Guire, and Boss at Greenock sheriff court for taking possession of the Greenock parish council offices, and preventing the staff, for about 20 minutes, from proceeding with their duties?
§ Mr. MUNROI have made inquiry into this case. The men referred to were the leaders in a serious and organised breach of the law, and I see no reason to advise any interference with the sentences pronounced upon them.
